TppProducer.PrintToPrinter: The file device has already been created.

I am getting this error when issuing the .Print command of a report. It is
very infrequent but very disruptive. I have trapped the command with
exception handling. Is there any way to free the device and allow a
reprint?

Using D6, RB11.04

Thanks,

    Hi Perry,

    This error can indicate a few things.

    Generally it means that there is a device (file, screen, or printer)
    already connected to the report and TppReport.Print is called. The
    Print command creates its own device so if you are manually creating
    devices, PrintToDevices should be called.

    This error can also arise when a subsequent call to Print occurs and the
    previous call has not finished its task.
